Again we meet, O Lord

1 Again we meet, O Lord,
Again we fill this place,
To hear thy holy word,
And ask thy promised grace;
To thank thee for the gifts we share,
The children of thy love and care.

2 Grant us the list'ning ear
The understanding heart,
The mind and will sincere,
To choose the better part--
To take the learner's lowly seat,
And gather wisdom at thy feet.

3 Thro' this, and every day,
Teach us thy paths to tread,
Nor let our feet astray
By Satan's wiles be led;
Be keep us in the narrow road--
The way to glory and to God.
